Workshops
Workshops are offered by international, national and local scribes. They are usually held from 9am to 4pm on a Saturday and Sunday, and are more technical and detailed than the Mini-workshops. They are a great chance to learn from some of the best teachers of calligraphy.
Escribiente Mini-Workshops:
Embossed Metal Pix Frames
Presented by Esther Feske
Saturday, July 24, 2010, 1:00pm
in the basement at Artisans on Monte Vista.
Re-using pieces of aluminum baking pans, we will make embossed picture/art frames. We will work small, perhaps 3"x4", so we can finish at least one. I will show some ways to stand/hang frames and ways to attach them as covers to books. Embellishment examples give artists more ideas for later. Wood embossing tool, aluminum & copper sheet provided.
Cost of the mini workshop is $10, plus $5 materials fee. Payment collected at the workshop. To sign up, or if you have any questions, please email Catherine Hogan at , or phone at 298-2004 – please leave message if I can't take the call.
